S. Korean movie 'Night and Day' to be released in Japan

SEOUL, Oct. 12 (Yonhap) -- "Night and Day," the eighth feature by internationally renowned South Korean director Hong Sang-soo, will be released in Japan this week, a Tokyo distributor said Monday.

The movie, featuring an artist who meets his ex-girl friend and other bizarre
women in Paris, was invited to the New York Film Festival and the Berlin
International Film Festival last year, as one of the most light and humorous
creations of Hong.
The movie will be released in Tokyo Oct. 17 under the Japanese title "Aventure in
Paris," and hit theaters in other Japanese cities later this month, Japan's
Bitters End said.
Hong, 49, won two international honors with his debut "The Day a Pig Fell into
the Well" and is considered one of the most widely recognized South Korean
directors in the global film society. Hong served as a jury member for the
Locarno International Film Festival this year.
